This build understandably took me eye because of it brigh colour, but a closer look showed me how relivent it is to my design for the major project. The lage windowsfinish fluch with the precast concrete pannels. It contains many overhanges and extrusions which acts as a facsad breaking up the building. The concrete has been decorated with line pressed into the concrete. This is done on the back side of the shed in order to stop a huge flat plain wall space.

Here im looking at concrete construction, because im basing my major project on that form of structure. From this design i was looking at cleen joins between the precast pannels and the way they plan to cover the precast concrete pannels with aluminium pannels. I also took notice of window and door joinary, where they meet the concrete. Also noticed the floor level is flush with the ground level. Box gutters also took my eye how the down pipes penetrates the concrete so smoothly and untoticably.

The same engineer as in previous blog came back with some details on concrete construction. He spent some time telling me how things can be done differently and left me with valid information which helped me with my major project.
